The rotating base 6 comprises rotating shafts 2 rotatably connected with the fixed base 1 and a connecting shaft 5 rotatably connected with the mounting base 9. An axis of the connecting shaft 5 and an axis of each of the rotating shafts 2 are perpendicular to each other. An accommodating groove 22 for accommodating the connecting shaft 5 is provided on one side of the mounting base 9. Positioning holes 24 are on a top surface and a bottom surface of the accommodating groove 22. Two ends of the connecting shaft 5 are separately rotatably disposed on a corresponding positioning hole. Therefore, on a premise of realizing rotation of the mounting base, a part of connecting shaft that is rotable is hidden in the accommodating groove 22, so as to reduce a volume of an overall structure of the lens prism module, thereby realizing the requirements of miniaturization design.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, a fixed groove15 is provided on an outer wall of the fixed base 1 and a circuit board 12 is disposed in the fixed groove15. Therefore, the circuit board 12 is well attached to the fixed base 1 for protecting the circuit board 12.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 6, an avoiding groove 14 for avoiding one end of the prism 11 is provided on a position of the fixed base 1 corresponding to a lower end of the prism 11, so that a position of the prism is limited during mounting of the prism 11 to the mounting base 9 while a height of the fixed base 1 is reduced under a premise of ensuring the larger-sized prism, thereby reducing the volume of the overall structure of the lens prism module

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, a reinforcing plate 16 is disposed on a bottom surface of the circuit board 12. The circuit board 12 is connected with the fixed base 1 through the reinforcing plate 16, so the circuit board 12 is fixed, the circuit board 12 is prevented from being damaged during fixing, and the circuit board 12 is protected. Of course, according to actual needs, the reinforcing plate 16 may also be disposed on one side of the circuit board 12.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the lens prism module further comprises a housing 13 disposed on the fixed base 1. The housing 13 covers the fixed base 1 and further protects the circuit board 12 in the fixed groove15. Thus, the circuit board 12 is well protected and is protected from damages.

Specifically, two sides of the rotating base 6 are separately rotatably disposed on the two rotating shafts 2. That is, one side of the rotating base 6 is rotatably connected with a corresponding rotating shaft 2. Thus, the rotating base 6 rotates around the rotating shafts 2.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a protruding block 17 accommodated in the accommodating groove 22 is disposed on one side of the rotating base 6. A limiting groove 18 is provided on the protruding block 17. The connecting shaft is disposed in the limiting groove 18. By disposing the protruding block 17 and disposing the limiting groove 18 on the protruding block 17, arrangement of the connecting shaft 5 is facilitated and a pace for movement of the mounting base 9 is reserved.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the accommodating groove 22 for accommodating the protruding block 17 and the connecting shaft 5 are provided on one side of the mounting base 9.

The two ends of the connecting shaft 5 are separately rotatably disposed in the positioning hole 24 on the top surface of the accommodating groove 22 and the positioning hole 24 on the positioning block 23. That is, a first end of the connecting shaft 5 is rotatably disposed in the positioning hole 24 on the top surface of the accommodating groove 22 and a second end of the connecting shaft 5 is rotatably disposed in the positioning hole 24 on the positioning block 23. The accommodating groove 22 is provided on one side of the mounting base 9 for accommodating the connecting shaft 5, which not only protects the connecting shaft 5, but also saves a space occupied by the connecting shaft 5 by accommodating the connecting shaft 5. Thus, the volume of the overall structure of the lens prism module is reduced.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 6, a slot structure (not shown in the drawings) is disposed on the mounting base 9 and the prism 11 is disposed in the slot structure.

The first return magnet 20 is disposed in the accommodating groove 22, which improves stability of the first return magnet 20 after installation and prevents the first return magnet 20 from falling off. The first return magnet 20 is disposed in the mounting base 9, and the magnetic yoke 19 is disposed opposite to the protruding block 17. A groove structure communicating with the limiting groove 18 is provided on the protruding block 17. The magnetic yoke 19 is fixedly disposed on the groove structure to increase stability and facilitate cooperation with the first return magnet 7.
